2. Back in the early 1980¡¯s Bill Gates said ¡°The world needs banking but
it does not necessarily need banks¡±. Banks are still here, but with the
turmoil of the past few years now is the time when it is even more
relevant to ask some soul searching questions. Many of the answers
underpin some of our assumptions on which we attempt to build
loyalty initiatives. For example, which relationships do customers truly
value and trust ¨C that with their supermarket, telecommunications
provider or bank?
It is right that banks should be urgently exploring ways to develop
closer and more meaningful relationships with customers who are
presented with ever more choice. The rules are there to be rewritten
and the onus is on organisations to take a proactive and innovative
stance in developing loyalty plays that are truly engaging,
meaningfully rewarding and commercially successful.
The need for a conference of this nature has never been so
apparent. Attendance will yield privileged insights from
Payment Loyalty Pioneers, leading retailers and contributions
from influential observers and loyalty practitioners.
The conference will provide a unique opportunity to learn from
pioneers in Payment Loyalty, Retailers with loyalty success and
associated industry experts. Delegates will benefit from lively debate
around the following subject areas:
? Building a consumer relationship through payments ¨C
learning how to engage consumer interest and attention through
something as simple as a payment card.
? Discovering the potential for mutual benefit by working with
retailers to achieve consumer loyalty.
? Using mutual relationships to develop a super proposition ¨C
delivering the ¡¯X factor¡¯ to achieve differentiation.
? Protecting your most valuable commodity, the customer ¨C
what do today's consumers expect and how can a great payments
loyalty program assist in customer retention and acquisition?
? The online world of social networking is changing everything, how
will changes in consumer behaviour and attitudes influence the
future of loyalty schemes and initiatives?
